I've changed from Black to Silver on my pre-order.

I just think the silver is the "signature" One look.

[One (M7) General] XDguru:
Black...cause I use the device for myself...only for me...haha!!!

Silver... unless the red comes to fruition. That looks nice.
[One (M7) General] YoungAceAtlanta:
Silver.. the Red one looks so photoshop..

still wouldn't buy it even if it was official
[One (M7) General] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
I'm on the same bought. Kinda looks like it gets rid of the premium of the phone, also it would scratch even easier than the black one will.

[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
I had pre-ordered the black one at Amazon UK the day the phone was first available to pre-order. But then I had a change of mind and on the 28th of February I changed to the silver one.

The trouble is with news of production delays, I have now put myself more at risk of not getting one on launch day although Amazon is still indicating 15th of March for now.
[One (M7) General] vizzy:
Had a feel of them both today. Deffo prefer black.
[One (M7) General] VeixES:
Voted Silver. Paid and pre-ordered the silver One. 11th person that has paid out of 60 phones that is coming small shop in Estonia, some time in April.
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Yo can definitely see more detail in the silver model it stands out more. The design is more apparent but I'm going for black as I've had to many white phones recently.
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
The reason I changed from black to silver because the detail stands out more...but also because I was worried the black one might be spray painted and not anodized..and its not fun when the black paint starts rubbing off.
[One (M7) General] -]Megacharge[-:
It is anodized and apparently is very scratch resistant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EWqPpYVE08

My last three HTC phones were black, so I decided and place an order today for the SILVER ! :)

It's not so plain and uniform looking as the black. Change is good ! :)

I just preordered my silver one!

Silver is the one I'll be getting. After going back and forth several times, I've decided. Mainly because of this video, it just makes other devices look underwhelming.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOCOp6yNT6Q&feature=youtube_gdata_player

[One (M7) General] Dany3R9:
and the answer is

Silver all the way.. my HD2 is black! ;)
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
while im pretty sure the black will be a sexy beast (judging by HTC's previous black metal phones)

but i'm going for silver

these photos helped me decide, first it looks miles away from the iPhone, so we can shut up those iPhone fiends

thank you HTC for making silver male again! :laugh:

[YOUTUBE]pOCOp6yNT6Q[/YOUTUBE]

also big advantage for using black glass on the front, makes the device look a lot more bold and masks the screen itself unlike the white iPhone, just like the iPad, when the screen is on you can see a black recessed border between the screen and the glass on the iPhone, which kills the screen floating on surface feel
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Those pictures make me glad i opted for the Black One :)
[One (M7) General] Nokiacrazi:
Are there any vidoes of the black one against other phones (not just the white version)?
[One (M7) General] Timbermill:
I've just ordered a Black one. Silver looks great, but it's a bit too 'pretty' for my taste. Plus I think the silver surround would bug me when watching movies in the dark.
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
Black. The end.silver looks crap

My opinion lol
[One (M7) General] Maedhros:
Just realized that the Silver's back has the same styling as my HTC Flyer.

I'm going to guess that the device will feel the same too... which is both good and bad.
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Silver I thought about it and changed my mind aha :P
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Pre ordered black!

Reason?

Saw this poll and silver won. So I ordered black cause I just made a theory that silver might already be sold out for the first batch now since most people prefer the silver one and black might not be since lesser people preorders it! :D

Anyways black represents durability when it comes to appliances :p
[One (M7) General] Cristianop:
AW: Black/Silver? Whats your pick?

Preorder black. Saw yesterday the silver and black one at a store and loved the black more. Silver looks to iPhone look.

Actually I have a white hox and also decided that the next smartphone should be a dark one again

Black, even if I have to wait a few more weeks.
[One (M7) General] al3ks:
How resistent is the black version to scuff marks and such? Does it get as ugly as the iPhone 5?
[One (M7) General] voltron2k11:
Black is supposed to be a finger print magnet
[One (M7) General] ctowne:
Black. I think the front of the silver model looks way too busy. The black seems to tone things down, plus it's more badass :p
[One (M7) General] al3ks:
I can live with the fingerprints as long as it doesent get as ugly as iP5 if it gets scratched.
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
I was for Black, but having the possibility to get the Silver sooner made me switch for it.
[One (M7) General] aydc:
I never buy a white phone because I think it looks girly, but.. for the HTC One I'll probably make an exception. The white version is simply the best looking phone of all times.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Are they releasing a White One as well?
[One (M7) General] NiCk.JaY:
He most probably means Silver :p
[One (M7) General] -]Megacharge[-:
He means silver, there is white plastic trim around the side of the silver one though which IMO doesn't flow well with the silver. I'll be getting black because of that.
[One (M7) General] m00moo:
When i first saw the One, the black was wayyyyy nicer in pictures and photos. But in real, the Silver is miles nicer. Trust me on that one!
[One (M7) General] geoff5093:
Hmmm, you'll be waiting a while because they don't have a white One.
[One (M7) General] Sindroid:
Getting the silver. In black it looks like any other HTC phone.
[One (M7) General] -]Megacharge[-:
The white plastic trim around the edges of the silver is going to turn yellowish over time and get dirty. I'm not taking any chances with that.

The black also looks more elegant IMO.
[One (M7) General] dimgl:
Guys... I don't think the black is painted................... I think it's anodized aluminum......
[One (M7) General] aydc:
There's no color named "Silver". Silver is a type of metal, not a color. The phone is just a very light shade of gray, which is just another way of saying white.

It doesn't matter, since it's even more beautiful than an iPhone 5. Finally we have an Android device that can challenge iPhone in the looks department.
[One (M7) General] CreepyDroid:
That's like saying that orange is a fruit and not a color. Breaking news: it's both a fruit and a color.

Also: Silver - Wikipedia
[One (M7) General] m00moo:
Lmao. Silver is a color. Gold is a color. Bronze is colour. Orange. Vanilla. Magnolia. Nude. They all are colors

Sent from my GT-N7000
[One (M7) General] Ddot196:
The silver is just the aluminum anodized. The black is anodized aluminum as well with the black coloring going into the process. It is just an extra step to anodizing the aluminum. So it is not paint, but a process in itself of the metal. A part of the metal now if you will. The color does however fade over time.

Oh and I originally wanted black, but I've changed my mind to silver. Looks clean. :P
[One (M7) General] Hunt3r.j2:
FYI Verizon is still carrying the One, it is only delayed for a while. So red will be a color for Verizon folks.
[One (M7) General] riz157:
I initially ordered black but due to delays I changed my order to silver . Might try to swap out swap at a later time still prefer black.
[One (M7) General] Shasarak:
I don't care what Christian Louboutin says, "nude" is not a colour. And "vanilla" is more of a flavour - unless you're talking about sex, but even then it's not a colour. :silly:
[One (M7) General] Bora777:
I've played with both and although I preferred the black in pictures, in real life the silver is far more stunning. I find the black almost too understated and maybe even a little dull because the finish on the back is solid with no grain, while the silver is very obviously metal and really shows off the contours of the back nicely.

I'm a little worried about staining the matte white plastic but hopefully with the minimal surface area that won't be much of an issue. Anyway, from experience HTC's black anodized metal tends to chip off quite easily, so unless they've altered their treatment process since the Desire S, that might still be a problem.
[One (M7) General] eg1122:
I have had a black HTC evo 4g lte for almost 9 months and none of the anodized metal has chipped. I only use a case for it when I go somewhere other than work. As long as I'm home or at work the phone is naked. If HTC used a similar treatment, or a better one, I would not worry about chipping.
[One (M7) General] m00moo:
Lmfao.... ok clever cloggs so "Orange" is that MORE of a fruit or colour of flavour!? :rolleyes: NUDE is a colour and so is VANILLA. Just because they are nouns doesn't they cannot be colours.

These are all colour types. Don't argue without facts. If you had a car and had to get it fixed you wouldn't spray IVORY WHITE over a ARTIC WHITE would you? Oh and Ivory hmmm colour or MORE of a thing?

[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
Bahahaha love how this thread has turned in to an argument about colours.....There's literally no end to what a colour can be actually. You could say it was 'moonlight' in colour.....It's not technically a colour but it is a viable usage of a word to depict a colour.

And regardless of all of this, I was under the assumption that the 'Silver' One was in-fact un-coloured bare metal....Or did I miss something?
[One (M7) General] quattro_rs:
Ordered both (black one from clove and silver from handtech)..

I'll have to see what the black one looks like in real life first, if it looks how I think it will I'll sell the sliver one as brand new in box "sealed" .
[One (M7) General] m00moo:
Exactly. Anything can be a colour so to be so confident that nude is not just makes him sound stupid lol

Colours can be anything and made up. Aslong as the colour depicts the thing you are referring to then its a colour. So yes silver is a colour as it is named after the colour that the metal is. bare metal can be any colour depending on the metal.
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
Though saying that I feel as though it should have been marketed as Naked or Brushed Alloy finish or something.....Silver gives the impression of it being painted with a Silver/Chrome finish....And I don't think this is the case.

[One (M7) General] FOREVER00T:
Silver Ftw!

SILVER [X]
[One (M7) General] m00moo:
WHAT? can't be serious....

Why should it be marketed as anything else than silver? Unless you are colour blind. Look at the phone. It is SILVER in colour. That is why it is sold as Silver.....

My original post was because someone said SILVER is not a colour, and I said no he is wrong. Silver is indeed a colour. The phone is Silver in colour. It isn't made from Silver so why does it have Silver colour attached to it?
[One (M7) General] NiCk.JaY:
LOL, though I'm going for silver, but still to let you know, I am colour blind :p
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
OK chrome it is then......;)
[One (M7) General] aydc:
If you're going to call the white one 'silver', then you are not allowed to call the black one 'black'. You have to call it 'Coal' or something. :)
[One (M7) General] m00moo:
Let me correct that.

"If you're going to call the Silver one 'White" then you should head to specsavers and get your eyes checked out.

http://www.htc.com/uk/smartphones/htc-one/#pre-order

Its called Silver for a reason... Not because it is white, blue or green lmao.

i would probably have ordered black had it been available, but went with silver because I can have it now.

my phones have pretty much always been black before so maybe it was time for a change!

i was worried about the coating of the black though, so maybe its not a bad thing
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Hi guys! What do you think of the black? I am having doubts of the black version after reading the comment from cnet.

http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/htc-one-review-50010439/

I am having doubts on the phone but by continuously reading seems like the reviewer has a hatred with the phone. I mean why would you spit on a premium phone. I don't know but I feel like he's trying to degrade the HTC One.

Here's the picture of his HTC One where he says has smears and scuffs. Do you see anything?

He could have shown a bigger picture to let us see where the scuffs are. :(
[One (M7) General] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
I think I see the streaks where he spit on his phone and rubbed it in. xD But that's it. Nasty.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
lol but no scuffs/scratches right?
[One (M7) General] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
Nope. Don't see a single mark on it.
[One (M7) General] AttachedSilver:

Silver for me.
[One (M7) General] CursiveQ:
why is he even putting his phone in the same pocket with his keys? any phone out there will get scratched up if they're in the pocket with your keys.
[One (M7) General] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
Yeah I would never even think about putting my phone in a pocket with something else especially keys. It's always by itself besides headphones. Doesn't matter what phone it is or if it has extremely scratch resistant glass. Don't want to risk anything.

[One (M7) General] yokken:
I quite like the black but I might get the silver. I want to see it in person but I feel like I will have the chance to buy it before I have the chance to play with it in store, and I'm an impatient person............ :D
[One (M7) General] m00moo:
Funny how you trying to be smartass :silly: Click the link and you will see that it says "SILVER" on their I quote "official partner" website. HTC call it Silver for a reason. Try telling HTC they are wrong and they will laugh in your face and tell you to get your eyes checked.

If you want to judge the phone's colour by looking at the sides and NOT the front. Then the iPhone 5 comes Silver or Black. iPhone 4/4S only comes in Silver. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Anyways, I have ordered the Silver one now. As I said before, Black is more appealing in pictures but in real life the Silver looked amazing. The phone stands out way more and the Black version is more subtle and looks like any other Black device. ;)

Only if you have sweaty ass hands
[One (M7) General] yvibes:
Haha this is true xD I've had this phone for a week and it's still brand new. But if you do have sweaty hands this could be a problem, especially on the back! Nothing a little cloth couldn't clean though ;)
[One (M7) General] backfromthestorm:
Apparently it's not a coating, it's black all the way through.
[One (M7) General] ctowne:
No.. If you have dirty pockets or something that would do it
[One (M7) General] harpr33t:
I was talking about the buildup of urea stains which would stain it yellow
[One (M7) General] ctowne:
Interesting..
[One (M7) General] BenPope:
Well that's not possible. The aluminium alloy is anodised, this often produces a porous surface that can accept a dye, which is then often sealed. It's also possible to colour it as part of the anodising process with metal or (acidic) chemicals.
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Got both silver and black.

Silver on the 15th and black arrived today both from p4u sim free online.

This is what I've noticed re design and finish only

Silver looks better from the front, design really stands out.

I prefer black back finish, however it must be said its a fingerprint magnet. You will be constantly wiping it clean, if you can live with that then you will be ok.

Everything seems more flush with silver finish. Volume rocker, SIM card tray, this could be due to manufacturing inconsistencies.

I do prefer black but it will mark up easier and paint will come of easier also, just like my black One S. defects will be easier to see on the black version. In fact Its already marked up out of the box, on the front bottom speaker near the edge and its silver underneath. It's very small only noticeable on very close inspection in a lit up room. Again this could be due to manufacturing issue, I had the same issue with my black iPhone 5 and One S.

The silver even though received on release date has no visible markings.

[One (M7) General] vegetaleb:

You won't be disappointed with Silver. Also I've noticed it's not easy to wipe fingerprints off the black.
[One (M7) General] harpr33t:
Lol I'm telling the truth. My brother has an iPhone and his case is stained yellow on the sides since his palms get sweaty all the time plus he doesnt clean the phone/case. It looks nasty.

[One (M7) General] ctowne:
I want!
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
i really like the case aswell because i felt the phone was almost TOO thin before after being used to an HTC incredible s (with no case) for so long, with the nillkin on, its about the same thickness as my old phone. plus with the case i now know exactly where the volume keys are which i didn't before lol
[One (M7) General] ctowne:
Nice dude. I love the black :thumbup:
[One (M7) General] riz157:
I thought about buying this case but then was worried it might damage phone. Scuff the phone due to tight fit.
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
well if you are going to be taking it off and putting it back on all the time then no, i probably wouldn't recommend it as yes it fits fairly tight - if you plan on removing a lot get a softer jelly type one

ive had it on and off a couple of times this evening and there are no marks but it is an excellent tight fit which is perfect as i dont plan to take it off anymore.
[One (M7) General] @home:
Your power button protrudes a bit more than mine. Mines really flush
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
nope its pretty flush on mine too, its just the shadow in the pic exaggerates the effect.

in reality the amount it protrudes is considerably less than 1mm, i dont have anything to measure with

Silver.

I had the silver first which I loved but I exchanged it due to build quality but all they had in-store was the black which I accepted . Anyway after a couple of days of owning the black version I have come to dislike the colour which I feel makes it look like a generic black smart phone especially from a distance .
[One (M7) General] ragingredbull:
I bought this case and was a bit worried about how bulky it was going to make the phone, but I must say black on black looks stunning. Can't wait to get both this week hopefully.

Thanks for that finally bought iconic case which protects all corners and is clear.

---------- Post added at 07:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

The silver definitely shows off the design better even from a distance. The only issue with black is the fingerprints show up very easily other then that I do prefer black. Most people however prefer silver.
[One (M7) General] @home:
I guess it's horses for courses - I saw the silver in the flash today & thankfully I didn't get silver when ordering mine, I got the black.

Silver looked so run of the mill & common.
[One (M7) General] Brillormen:
First I ordered the black, but regretted it after watching a video comparison, so I changed the order. The silver sort of had my name on it. :)

is the black rather than a matte black, so rather easily into grayish, or really completely dark black.

somehow each image is different ...

[One (M7) General] riz157:
It's black alright.
[One (M7) General] hennesch:
you know, there is a sliiiiight difference between black and grey.

so i just wanted to know, if this black, is more greyish or black like the night.

if you dont want to answer me, dear human, then please just stay away with that dumb reply...

this, to me, looks more greyish.

the outside of the screen is black...

so whats the deal with this colour???
[One (M7) General] Hunt3r.j2:
Anyone know if the black has scuffing issues yet? Hopefully it's not as fragile as the iPhone 5 in that regard.
[One (M7) General] vegetaleb:
Question for black One owners: does it have the same premium black metallic feeling as the iphone 5 or just like previous HTC black/grey phones?
